    This item's owner is actively responding to offers, usually within 3 days. Most owners in this category are still actively buying, and therefore interested only in offers where they can net (after our 10% fee) an amount sufficiently above today's market value. Owners in this category seldom counter-offer, and will usually simply reject offers placed at current auction values or lower.

    Description

    Boris Karloff Early Life Pictures. The haunting eyes and gothic countenance are already in evidence in these copies of photos from the childhood of William Henry Pratt -- and the early stage career of Boris Karloff. Six pictures and eight negatives show the future horror superstar as a boy, a young man and a dapper and versatile stock company actor (already toying with character makeup). In Very Good condition. From the Boris Karloff Estate Collection. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Sara Karloff Sparkman.
